“This incident demonstrates the potential for uncontrolled dogs to cause livestock to suffer and farms to incur costs of lost breeding stock and medical treatments. For those reasons police are urging people who are exercising dogs to ensure that their animals are on a lead around livestock.
“Anyone with information is asked to report it online or call 101 quoting serial number 821 of 04/11.”
